most likely this is caused by a bent brake rotor on one or both sides. to fix this remove the tire and the brake calliper and the rotor will just slide off then just replace it and put everything back together.

Why does a car shake when braking?

This would normally be down to either: Warped Brake Discs (in some counties these are called Rotors) where there is a small ripple in the surface of the disc. This causes the brake pads (which are flat) to make intermittant contact with the surface which causes a vibration. This "warping" is not always visible to the naked eye. Worn or Perrished suspension compnents. This can lead to the wheels moving around in an unctrolled manner during braking which can also cause vibration.


What causes a 2003 Toyota Tacoma to vibrate at stop lights where the hood and steering wheel shake?

Vibration at idle, especially with automatic transmission, is usually caused by engine idling to slow. Now, since there is no idle adjustment screw anymore you need to have the vehicle checked at your Toyota Dealer. Some vibration, even to that level is normal. IF IT HAPPENS IN THE PROCESS OF STOPPING, WHILE BRAKING, YOUR BRAKE ROTORS ARE LIKELY OUT OF ROUND.
